  1. so PLUSAs can self gender-verify? What a relief!

    Biff, you must take a lot of flak for your real name. Do people ever think you’ve said “beef”? Sometimes, if I have a cold, and i meet somebody new, they think I’ve introduced myself as “Broadway”. So painful.

    Cobble, I’m not short either. Maybe we can keep each other company by standing in the back, getting ripped and making fun of the karaoke singers!

  2. lechacal, I wonder about that too. At the time, I was working down near Water & Whitehall. And almost everyone in my office developed a cough, despite our being told the air quality was ‘fine’. A few are in the monitoring program, due to the fact that they had to be down there even while the offices were closed [for about a week afterwards] to manage the IT systems.

  3. ENY, I was kidding with the #2 Draft (Darko) comment. I actually think Knicks downfall started when they out-bid themselves in signing Houston to that massive contract (ie over-paid by 3-4M per yr on that 6 yr contract). That 3-4M could’ve allowed us to keep Ewing instead of shipping our man to Seattle

  4. I have not signed up for the WTC health monitoring program. At around 9:30 am or so on the day of I decided to get out of there and was clear of the ash/dust zone by the time the towers came down. I was in Chinatown by the time the first tower fell and somewhere between LES and midtown by the time the second tower fell. I suppose I breathed in the downtown air throughout that autumn, but I have always assumed it was the initial burst of ash/dust and direct on-site cleanup that put people in high risk groups. As I’m reading this I see the word “assumed” and yes, anticipate the obvious response.
